But until questions of this kind come
oe1ore Us In the way clearly indicated by
the statute, 1t would be worse than useless
LOT us to express opinion or give advice.
We should not only lay ourselves Justly
open to the charge of assuming unwar-

great risk of involving all concerned in
what the courts might afterward hold to
be breaches of the law, by hasty and ILL
considered conclusions, based upon expar-
te statements and arguments. Although
1t might be desirable OR at least more
convenient to have tribunal established
to which enquirers might apply for in
struction and advice respecting the
meaning of the law and its application
to suggested circumstances and condi-
tions,' moments reflection will show
that no such tribunal could be properly
erected. Congress has not taken the man
agemeGt of tEs railroads ont OF the hands

established certain general principles un-

be conducted. 1t has enacted in section
L, that all charges for Interstate tran
